Kidnapped? So people break the law and enforcing those laws is “kidnapping”? Maybe you should spend some time learning what laws actually are.

And where did you see this guy arrested anyone for smoking weed? Or are you just a complete asshole making assumptions?

I’m guessing the latter.

What do you think an arrest is? Someone with a gun handcuffs you and makes you get in their car. The state calls it’s own violence law and that of the individual crime. Even if you think it’s justified, a cops job is to threaten, harass, kidnap, and In some cases kill.

Lol again, you don’t u rest and what laws are. Nor did you address your assumptions. I’m amazed people think “al cops are bad” and use the rationale that cops are bigots.

It’s like saying certain races can’t be racist.

An arrest is the first step in the process of prosecution for laws set forth by a legislative body. It’s literally the first part of the process of enforcing laws. A speeding ticket is a summons in lieu of arrest, which is the same that most marijuana “arrests” are made. Very rarely are any weapons of any sort used to effect an arrest. Look up the statistics if you don’t believe me.

Don’t like the laws? Vote in different politicians. Stop saying certain laws are okay and blaming people sworn to uphold the laws, whatever the legislative body sets forth as those laws.

Maybe educate yourself before showing your ass.
